Notice that this guy is middle eastern – given citizenship by the Brits. That was their biggest mistake, same here in the United States. Too many people with different values than what we have in our countries. They don’t like it. That is where these protests are coming from – people from screwed up parts of the world who want the west to bend over backwards for them. It is revenge for what they view as colonialism. They don’t appreciate all that their host countries give them. Period.

@jonipreston55 are you serious/ so the Americans and the British have the moral High ground? Really….you remember the Native americans, right?- Before they were exterminated..Americans immigrated, tricked and wiped out a whole peaceful civilization! So I dont get your point- dont think you do either. There is a problem- we are all so off base and seperated- we are sealing our own doom- and it was all planned- dont fool yourselves- this is the end- I say good riddance.

@the1calledv I am a Cherokee Indian native from Oklahoma – so not all were exterminated. I still feel that Muslim’s can not even begin to know what our system is like because they don’t even let their women drive cars or go out without covering their face. How can they truly understand our way of life, let alone government. They want to come to the West and wreck everything like they did their own countries. I say, stay home.

@Hinduspy Standard answer from anyone not being from here is that we are racist. We are not racist, just have a better way of life than most other countries, and they can’t stand that (obviously you must live somewhere else too, or have come from there). Blacks, whites, reds, yellows – we all live better in the USA than when we were in the middle east, or anywhere else on the planet. jealousy will turn you green if you aren’t careful.

@MR1QUEST You need to get a job and a life. Revolution is for soldiers – maybe join the military? Hey, there is a job for you!! The non-tax paying 47% has woken up after a long welfared slumber because the golden goose is running dry – and Obama is helping to spend it all as fast as he can. The big wake up call: go out and get educated then get a job.

@jonipreston55 Am a Qualified Veterinarian, yet i teach because i have no choice! Your judgement was based on Ignorance, just like so many other comments! Need i argue with a ‘fool’? I only make myself a bigger fool! Good luck!

@1LaOriental Not at all – I am a pilgrim descendant, father was cherokee indian, and my mom was a Portuguese immigrant. I am a proud american and respect my fellow man – all colors and creeds. Provided they do not tread on me.

@jonipreston55 weird the way your against immigration since there would be no US of A without immigration. sure as fuck the native americans didn`t build the states on their own. what percentage of the American population is actually a native american?

if it received decent coverage and why they are protesting the sleeping masses will be amongst them.this happened in asutralia and those people were attacked,harrased and beaten by bastard police with such disgusting,unnecesary heavy handedness that it made us sick.this is slowly becoming marshall law.neo cons watchig gleefully as people are abused and beaten and so called media never exposes them.what a fucked up democracy.its laughable we have no rights.no voice.no freedom.its nazi state

@Proteus6684 i am not against immigration, just think it should be limited and once we get the economy back and have our own people working, then let more people come. But not from radical muslim countries, or people that pose a threat to our way of life. I am Cherokee Indian from Oklahoma by the way. Pilgrim descendant on my mother’s side – adopted by a Portuguese immigrant. I still believe that America should be for people who share our ideology of western life and Christian values.

@jonipreston55 Myself and my mates are just looking at your reply and we really dont know what to make of it. We could take you a third seriously until you added that immigrants should share christian values.I`m from Ireland so ive seen the effects of the christian religon which I denounced years ago. your either an artist of discrimination or just plain crazy! I wouldn`t come to Ireland if I were you because if you walked into any bar with that attitude you would be stretchered out.

@Proteus6684 Christian in the true sense of the word, not the Catholic church version: taking in life for the positive and not hurting others. Coming to America and ruining it here because you come from a terrible place is not right – muslim religion and such which are barbaian don’t belong in a free republic. Taxation without representation, remember that one? I am Irish descent as well. Christian life is much better than living in a bar – you should try it.

@jonipreston55 I`m currently typing this from Co.Kildare,Ireland. does that answer your question? I cant believe Im being questioned about this. when I was in Oz I met so many Ozzies that said they were irish which really pissed me off.I think people that look to their descent are deluded because you are the person that was born where they were born and “who you are” is molded by your environment not some ancient relation from 100 years ago.

@jonipreston55 I dont wanna argue with you yet I know I`m argueing with you Lol but I strongly feel religon should stay out of all important decisions. Personally I think if everyone adopted one simple philosophy the world would be a wonderful place to live in and that philophsy is “Live and let live.”

BTW,if I have offended you I apologise. We really need unity on this planet rather than division.

Hello my friends, once upon a time Mao said that, “A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous.﻿ A revolution is an insurrection,﻿ an act of violence by which one class overthrows another”. And the rest is history, folks!
